Great observations. Could these climate disasters, like Katrina under Bush, be what finally snaps people out of the mass trance he has created and which has been supported daily by news outlets like Fox and brutally sycophantic mouthpieces like Noem? I think it’s a possibility. Between this and the Epstein business, we are seeing small tears in his cape of invincibility. Straight up facts about things like the avalanche of unanswered FEMA disaster response calls after Noem’s idiotic decision need to be blasted out to the public. Thanks for doing your part.
That Congressional Republicans sit quietly allowing Trump to ravage our safety net unchecked should give their constituents a very good reason to think long and hard about the midterms, and whether it is worth potentially sacrificing their safety and the futures of their children to the glory of Donald J Trump.
In Project 2025 they pretty much tell you FEMA is not going to help with disasters, and if any, only natural, and their help will be around 25% whereas the local is supposed to support the most. We understand that Homeland Security is only going to focus on immigration destruction, and nothing else matters. In fact Trump has 3 funding priorities:
1) billionaires
2) the military
3) ICE
This is why I say that we should stop having federal taxes, and insist on States rights to pay and support themselves. We can pay federal taxes at times of war, like during the Civil war. Otherwise, we should have our own militaries, divvy up the nukes because we don't want to be like Ukraine with Russia when the Soviet Union broke up. We all pitch in if there is a military crisis and states can agree to pool funds for investing, or crisis or whatever.
This is the formula that several modern democracies use, such as Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Switzerland. Things still function in these countries. Our states of comparable size tend to have larger GDPs than these countries and we could manage to take care of our people well too, if the will is there. I would like to see my elected officials drafting such a bill, and I dare the Republicans to vote it down and explain it to their constituencies. Let the Red State leadership either take care of their people, or get voted out when they don't.
Most states in the south depend on federal money to survive. Fuck states rights, it just cannot work and it's a lousy idea. Turning the states into little countries is absurd and cumbersome.
Excellent article. krisiti botox rolex noem should be arrested for depraved indifference. As children were drowning among the 100 plus confirmed dead, she was on social media asking which putinesque painting of her sitting on a poor horse would look best at SD's state Capitol. Then the pathological liar, and trump cultist sat on a FEMA response for 72 hours. How many died because of her lack of response and trump's maga murder agenda? trump, musk, project 2025, doge, and maga are a deadly and deadly combination of incompetence, ignorance, and inhuman treatment of anyone but the filthy wealthy..
Trump may have painted himself and his administration into a philosophical corner. Publicly, they are climate change deniers- every man-jack one of them. They know that when once in a thousand year weather events like the recent floods occur then everyone but they and their brain-washed voter base, will put two and two together and get climate change as the answer. So what are they to do? They're already de-funding climate science, while scrubbing the very word from government database and restricting satellite data from the public including the meteorological community. But the boogie man cannot be wished away so easily. When confronted with reporters, after these increasingly common natural disasters, asking annoying questions they are forced to stall, prevaricate or shift blame
But never to fix what went wrong for that would be to admit climate change is real, that they defunded the wrong programs and to commit the cardinal, unforgivable sin in this administration: to admit they made a mistake, to apologize and to vow to do better. In this administration if they do those things they are immediately removed from office.
Trump is right about one thing. The U.S. is increasingly "the hottest country in the world" thanks to his and other Republicans' insistence that climate change is not real. They are ensuring that rising temperatures will cause more and more climate-related disasters. How are states supposed to prepare for and handle these disasters when the federal government is gutting resources for a big chunk of the continent?
According to the NYT, Biden's FEMA response to calls placed by flood victims was almost as bad as they were last week. If anything, FEMA has been underfunded and under-manned for years as climate change causes bigger and more frequent disasters all over the country, especially in the poorest states. It absolutely makes no sense to shut down FEMA, especially when so many states do not have the revenue to fund disaster responses.
Instead, MAGA is tearing Trump a new one over the Jeffrey Epstein "file." This is cult behavior. As one MAGA said to me when I questioned this, "children were raped." Well, 132 people drowned, and at least 27 were children, so I'm fucking puzzled.

That description sums it all up perfectly. Why do we hate Trump so much that we continually fail to appreciate his glory? And our failure to appreciate him is the true crime.

While I would like to believe that repeated climate disasters would snap people out of the mass trance, I suspect it will be the Epstein files.
I agree. Trump blames the Democrats for damn near everything, but he can't blame them for his own hoax blowing up in his face.

Texas Republicans will still vote for a Republican senate candidate.
We’ll see….things may he bad enough by the midterms to convince some(but certainly not all) Republicans to vote for a Democrat….maybe enough to win….

The great thing about godliness, is that you don’t have to think, or even act, just look concerned.
Omnipotent like a god … and the only way to appease said god is to buy a watch or the new warrior’s perfume.

Comforting people in time of disaster should be an easy job for a president. Trump utterly sucks at it.
According to the NYT, Biden's FEMA response to calls placed by flood victims was almost as bad as they were last week.
